Aberdeen vs Strasbourg prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-12-10 20:00.
[p]Aberdeen haven’t lost since late October but need to translate their strong domestic form into a European win against Strasbourg to keep their hopes of progressing in the UEFA Conference League alive.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 3-1 win away at Dundee on Saturday means Aberdeen come into this fixture high on an eight-game unbeaten run (W4, D4), although three of those draws did come on home soil, so games at Pittodrie are typically tight affairs. Both Conference League fixtures during this eight-match streak also ended level and, despite what their recent run suggests, the Dons begin this round in 33rd place, three points behind the final play-off berth with only two fixtures remaining. Getting a victory here is therefore crucial for Jimmy Thelin’s side, but a run of just one win from their last 16 European games (D7, L8) hardly inspires confidence.[/p]
[p]Unbeaten (W3, D1) and riding high in second place in the Conference League ahead of this round, Strasbourg are already guaranteed a place in the play-offs with two league phase games to go. Liam Rosenior’s side impressively beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in their last European fixture, but having lost both league fixtures since and winning just one of their last six away games (D1, L4), they can’t afford to take anything for granted here. That win at least came in the Conference League, and triumphing in four of their last five (L1) European away matches is a more positive omen Le Racing can cling to here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first time that Aberdeen will face French opposition in a major European competition, while Strasbourg have won three of their four contests (L1) against Scottish sides.[/p]
